Author Enlists CDC in Writing New Novel

My newest book is entitled In My Blood. As with every book
I write, it all began with a precipitating event.

In this case, I had brought my cat, Frodo, outside for a lap
around the front yard. I was holding him in my arms, when a large truck roared
by and scared him. In a wild attempt to escape, he clawed me and made holes in
my shirt, but I held him fast and made a beeline for the door.

It was the back claws that did the most damage. Now I had a
hole in my shirt and a peculiar pattern carved into my chest. I looked like a
reverse letter N.

That night, I was thinking about what happened. When I got
into the shower, the thought hit me, “Maybe there is a plague on an alien world
and emissaries were sent into all the inhabited planets to find the chosen one…”

That was all I needed to get started.

The next day, I started writing, but I knew I needed help in
creating the plague.

When you want to find out about a disease, what do you do?
You call the CDC right?
